Long Running SQL Queries

We have a customer that runs our Crystal Reports and they have complained that some of the reports cause long running sql queries and they have to kill these queries manually from SQL Management tools. We have changed the code so that we now dispose the report source and viewer objects as we call .dispose() function on them;
reportSource.dispose();
viewer.dispose();
At first this seemed work but customer later complained that the issue still occurs. Can anyone help with why some of these CR queries are still running way after report is generated (with correct set of data), and based on the customer some of them running for more than 2 hours? What else can we do to make sure that all CR related queries cease to exist once report is generated? Appreciate all the help.

1. Run the report from with Crystal designer. You should see the query being sent to DB server. After the report is viewed and you close it in designer, do you see the DB connection being dropped? If not, this may not be a SDK\ API related issue.
2. Try using latest set of CRJ Jars [here|http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsforeclipse/2_0/crjava-runtime_12.2.213.zip] in your application. Also update the crystalreportviewers folder with the new viewer found at this link.
3. Make sure that you are calling reportClientDocument.close() at the end when user is done viewing the report.
4. When you say logn running queries are seen in DB, are you referring to a DB connection left open? or is it actually running any query and returning results?

Long Running SQL and ORDS Spawns Multiple Database Sessions

Hi all.
We have a strange situation when accessing a long running SQL Report (a single APEX Page).
The SQL takes about 15 mins to run but when I monitor what database sessions are spawned by the APEX Listener, I see multiple sessions all executing the same SQL. It appears that after 6 minutes, the APEX Listener spawns a new database session to execute the same SQL.
Has anyone seen this before and if so, is there a key setting I am missing as I don't want this to happen. I am new to the APEX Listener and WebLogic so apologies if this is the way it's meant to work but it seems odd that after a certain amount of time (6 minutes in my case) a new database session is spawned to do the same work.
We are running:
WebLogic: 10.3.0.6
APEX_LISTENER_VERSION 2.0.0.354.17.06
Datadate: 11.2.0.3.0 Production
APEX: 4.2.1.00.08
Cheers for any help.

Hi Duncan,
With all respect, you should please rethink your interface. I would never consider writing a Web application with a request that knowingly takes 15 minutes to return the results. You can consider doing this asynchronously via DBMS_SCHEDULER and then alerting the user (via email, perhaps) that their results are ready. Or if you can precompute this in advance, consider using materialized views so that the user's response time is sub-second.
In an era where the patience of the average end-user is measured in single-digit seconds, it is impractical to ever expect an end-user to wait 15 minutes for their resultant Web page.

Information on how to run SQL queries on the CUCM itself please

Good Day All,
I need to run an sql query on the CUCM to list all of my directory numbers, their partition, and their external mask values.
I came across this excerpt below earlier so I have a bit of an idea how to do it but iw would be great to see some other examples of sql queries.
Any assistance is most appreciated.
Also, is there a document somewhere to tell me how to run these queries?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Amanda

Re: Is there a way of pulling a report off CM showing all phones that have diverts on?
Try if running this SQL query from the CLI helps you, it should list all DN's that have CFA enabled to VM or a DN:
run sql select dnorpattern,cfadestination,cfavoicemailenabled from CallForwardDynamic c, numplan n where c.fknumplan = n.pkid and (cfadestination != '' or cfavoicemailenabled ='t')

Hi Amanda
Basically it's standard SQL, so it wouldn't hurt to google 'informix select statements' and do a little reading to get the basics. There are millions of permutations of queries so it's a matter of understanding the syntax, and then applying that to the database in question. The only difference when running commands from the CLI are that:
- You prefix the standard informix SQL statement with 'run sql'
- You don't get any help from CUCM with the syntax, so you might be well advised to use something that understands SQL a little and colorises it as you type, and then paste the resulting commands into the CUCM SSH window. I use a text editor named JEdit, if you create a text file and save it as a file ending in .sql it will highlight your syntax.
- Other programs are available that do reasonable syntax highlighting (e.q. SquirrelSQL) that are designed for querying the DB directly, but you can't actually query directly against the DB for security reasons. You'd still have to copy/paste the commands.
Now... to understand the DB you'll need a reference describing all the tables etc. This is here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_programming_reference_guides_list.html
Pick your version of CUCM and download the 'Data Definition' document.
A few notes on the command:
run sql : is just the CLI command that tells the shell to run the following text as SQL.
select : the SQL command to retrieve data
dnorpattern,cfadestination,cfavoicemailenabled : the column names to retrieve
callforwarddynamic c, numplan n : the names of two tables, and the abbreviations you want to refer to them as
where c.fknumplan = n.pkid : this tells SQL to return values from the two tables where these fields match up. In the data definition you'll see notes that c.fknumplan (i.e. the fknumplan column in the callforwarddynamic table, as noted by the c. prefix) refers to the PKID column in the numplan field. This is a very standard type of join in the CCM DB.
and (cfadestination != '' or cfavoicemailenabled ='t') : another clause, basically in this query we want to see only rows where cfadestination isn't blank or cfavoicefmailenabled is set to 't' for true).
Most tables are linked in one of two ways in this database:
- a column prefixed 'fk' refers to the pkid field (there is always only one pkid field per table) in the table following the 'fk' prefix. E.g. above fknumplan refers to the numplan table, pkid field. fkdevice would refer to the device table, pkid field.
- a column prefiex 'tk' refers usually to an enum table which is prefixed with 'type'. This is a table that maps the number value in the 'tk' field to a string. An example would be tkmodel - this represents the phone physical model type (e.g. 7962), and maps to a table called typemodel, and the 'enum' column in that table.

Run sql queries in online sqlplus........is that possible??

Hi,
I am a php/mysql programmer.In my office only mysql is installed.And as a junior programmer i have no privilege to install oracle in my machine or in our server.But i want to run some small oracle queries in order to gather knowledge in Oracle.I am looking for an online SQLPLUS...
If something like that exists...please send me the link...

You only said to run some oracle queries for that you need oracle, there is nothing like online sqlplusWell, there is some kind of "online SQL*Plus": it's not really SQL*Plus, you have limited privileges and disk space but you can create database objects in a Oracle database and run usual SQL statements using apex.oracle.com online service.

Running SQL queries through Xpress code

Hi,
Please give an idea to run the sql select, update queries through Xpress code.
The code may be there in workflows or rulelibs...
Any ideas are appreciated
Thanks,
Santoshanand

There is a set of JDBC methods in the class com.waveset.util.JdbcUtil which certainly allows for selects to take place.
check out the javadocs from the BFE especially the queryList and queryRecords methods.
I guess the sql method could be used to run any sort of sql statement you like if you want to modify the database.
From XPress these methods are invoked
e.g.
<invoke name='queryList' class='com.waveset.util.JdbcUtil'>
</invoke>

SQL Inseting a Set Of Data To Run SQL Queries and Produce a Data Table

Hello,
I am an absolute newbie to SQL.

Any idea how one would overcome this initial proble?
Many thanks for any solutions to this problem.

You need to be in SQL*Plus logged in as a user.
This page which I created for my Oracle students may be of some help:

But to logon using "/ as sysdba" you must be in SQL*Plus (sqlplus.exe).

Running sql queries in Javascript

Have built a form with numerous rows based on Stefan Cameron's methodology (http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/10/12/displaying-all-records-from-an-odbc-data-connecti on/) and have gotten that part to work.
Need to use a sql query to get a subset opf the data, but Stefan's and other examples use Formcalc. I figure I just need to do a delayed query once I get the query set up and loaded.
Drawing a blank on how and where to load the sql query string.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Stefan's code is very useful when you want to display a single record. Typically I woudl enter a value on a field and use that entered value as part of teh record search in my SQL statement (usually with a delayed open of the DB). If you want to get a subset of records and simply navigate through them that code is not neccessary. You can change the settings when you set up the dataconnection to enter a SQL command and enter it in the 1st panel. Then when the connection is made that SQL statement will run each time.

UDM for long running sql

Hi
I am planning to use enterprise manager grid control to create a UDM for the following sql that would alert me for the sql that is running for more then a hour for all databases any ideas on how to do this
SELECT
        substr(swn.sql_text,40),
        ||'SQL is Running on Instance ' ||s.inst_id || 'Since '|| ROUND(sl.elapsed_seconds/60) elapsed_mins,
FROM   gv$session_longops sl,
gv$session s ,
gv$sql swn
WHERE s.sid     = sl.sid
AND    s.inst_id = sl.inst_id
AND    s.serial# = sl.serial#
AND    s.inst_id = swn.inst_id
AND    s.sql_address = swn.address
AND    s.sql_hash_value = swn.hash_value
AND    sl.sofar <> sl.totalwork
AND    sl.totalwork <> 0
AND    round((sl.elapsed_seconds)/60,0) > 60
order by 7Edited by: user9243284 on Jun 7, 2010 3:48 AM

I think you should specify:
SQL query output: two columns
Metric Type: String
and the following query:
SELECT 'NA',0
from dual
union
SELECT distinct '( ' ||i.instance_name ||','|| sl.sid ||','|| sl.serial# ||', ) ' || substr(s.sql_text,1,1000) sql, ROUND(sl.elapsed_seconds/60) mins
FROM gv$session_longops sl,
gv$sql s,
gv$instance i
WHERE sl.sofar = sl.totalwork
AND sl.totalwork = 0
AND sl.inst_id = s.inst_id (+)
AND sl.sql_address = s.address (+)
AND sl.sql_hash_value = s.hash_value (+)
AND sl.inst_id = i.inst_id
use the select from dual, to make sure your query allways returns at least one row.
BTW, you will find some examples of UDM creation on my blog.

Killing long running SQl automatically

I want to put a restriction on my database, if a sql query is running for more then 15 min, then killing this automatically. If this is possible kindly let me know.

Hi,
yes you can do that, use Resource Manager for that like described below:

Monitoring Long Running SQL

Hi all,
Some users run reports for very large period of time (diffrence of start & end dates 2 years) and they end up scanning the whole database and crashing the application services.
Is there any way to monitor this kind of queries and kill it before the application hangs??
thanks in advance.

If you set up PROFILES in your database (you need to set RESOURCE_LIMIT to true for this), you don't need to monitor any query, the session will be killed automatically when a threshold is exceeded.
Consult the PROFILE concept and the CREATE PROFILE command in the documentation for further details.

Dear user604968
(Why not give your profile a name?)
Your explain plan has been removed - which doesn't help - but here's a couple of things
1) the use of DISTINCT in each of the main query, subquery and sub-sub-query fills me with suspicion. The complexity of the query makes me think that the data model is either misunderstood or (more likely) poorly designed
2) the outermost subquery is almost certainly incorrectly correlated with the outer query:
    WHERE ph_loi.prd_hld_id=ph_loi.prd_hld_id why compare a column to itself? Presumably this should be something like:
    WHERE ph_loi.prd_hld_id=phr2.prd_hld_id Good luck with puzzling it out...
